Offered here is a complete 1870 antique wedding stationery group, centered on a formal engraved invitation for the marriage of H. C. YERGASON and KATE J. BARTLETT, held at the First Congregational Church, Norwalk, Connecticut. The primary invitation sheet measures approximately 7.5 x 5 inches folded, with accompanying pieces in proportional original sizes typical of period wedding stationery.
The invitation reads: Tuesday, November fifteenth, 1870, at half past two o’clock, and is beautifully engraved in elegant Victorian script. Included in this lot are multiple original components: the main invitation, matching inner name cards, a monogrammed piece bearing the couple’s initials, and original envelopes. One envelope is hand-addressed to MATILDA C. YERGASON, likely a close family member, adding genealogical depth to the group.
All pieces show appropriate 19th-century age toning, light foxing, and handling wear, with no major losses. Importantly, this is not a single loose invitation, but a coordinated survival group retaining its historical context.
A desirable New England church wedding with full names, exact date, and location clearly identified, this grouping will appeal strongly to genealogists, Connecticut historians, and collectors of Victorian-era ephemera. The lot is offered intact to preserve both research and display value.
Authentic period piece related to family, historyor local heritage - well-suited for historical collections, genealogical /genealogy research, or museum acquisition.Vintage or Antique.
